Jul 29, 07:22 PM

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves has today been providing covering fire for a raft of unpopular policies, including changes to the winter fuel allowance and cancellations to various building projects. She gave a damning statement in the Commons earlier this afternoon about the economic situation that Labour have inherited from the Tories.

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Kate Andrews.
